Should women serve as pastors, elders, and teaching authorities in the church?
Or does Scripture strictly reserve that role for men? Few debates have divided Christians more sharply than this one. Christians who love the same Bible have reached opposite conclusions-and both sides believe Scripture is on their side. Women in Church Leadership is a thorough study of the controversial passages at the center of this debate-what they say, what they mean, and what the church has historically understood them to require. From Adam and Eve to Paul's letters to Timothy and the Corinthians, to the examples of Deborah, Priscilla, and Phoebe, every major argument is examined and weighed. Before doing the research, I was on the opposite side of the debate. I was adamant that my position was correct. This reversal is what happens when a genuine follower of Christ sees the evidence and wants to build their life on the truth.
